<LI>The computation of a global result requires a global
communication, which entails a significant overhead. It may be
necessary and/or advisable to compute multiple dot products at the same
time; in this case, it is possible to improve the runtime efficiency
by using the following scheme:
<BR>
<IMG
WIDTH="500" HEIGHT="73" ALIGN="BOTTOM" BORDER="0"
SRC="img27.png"
ALT="\begin{lstlisting}
vres(1) = psb_gedot(x1,y1,desc_a,info,global=.false.)
vres(...
...,y3,desc_a,info,global=.false.)
call psb_sum(ictxt,vres(1:3))
\end{lstlisting}">
<BR>
In this way the global communication, which for small sizes is a
latency-bound operation, is invoked only once.
